Film and TV readings reflection

The points that I’ve got away from week 2’s reading, slogans for the screen writer’s wall is that when you think that  “You’ve got a beginning but you don’t have end, then you’re mistaken, because you don’t have the right beginning.” Because in movies, what is said may make little impression. Because what matters the most is what is going to happen next, it reminds to always bring new point of attack to the audiences when you’re plotting out my stories, make sure to twist around just before the movie ends, to create the kind of unexpected, but good ending. “What is happening now is apt to be less dramatically interesting that what or may or may not happen next”.

Apart from that, another point that interests me is that, screenplay is structure, structure, structure. Even if you are blazing your own plot path, it doesn’t hurt to have a road map to fall back on. It’s important to create your story based on the three act structure. From the everyday normal world, to the problem, climax, hopeless, and finally to some strange things happen for some hope. That’s basically how all movies nowadays are plotted.
